Pretty self explanatory title. I am just wondering if anyone here has ever attended a class through the semester out of pure interest and didn't take a grade for it. Do professors allow this or would most kick you out?

Small classes, <30
If you know the professor, or if you're university staff, even part-time, you can ask the professor for permission to sit in. They usually allow it. I assume you're asking about sitting in on the class for free, not paying to register as an auditor.
A person I knew in college did (sort of), he failed early on in biology and withdrew, but the professor let him come to class and the lab so he could get a good handle on it for the next semester.

That is completely against the rules in any school. In my school professors are required to take attendance and kick out anyone not on the class roll. In some schools you can audit a class, which costs a little bit of money but not full tuition, and not get credit or a grade, but you have to actually register as an audit.
I registered and audited a couple of classes that were purely my interests and had no bearing on my degree.
Tuition (at my school) was the same as any course.
If I had not registered, I would have not been able to stay past a certain date (usually end of 2nd week of school, when schedules are to be finalized -- i.e. end of the "add" period).
No problem. The teacher is still teaching me, even if I'm not using it for a degree. No reason they should not be compensated and I should not pull my weight and support the class for future students.
